Joining Microsoft Canada

Filed Under: Announcement

Last week I wrote that I had an announcement to make which I can now finally release:  As of today, I have joined Microsoft Canada as an Application Development Consultant within their Consulting Services division.

This has been an opportunity in the making for some time, facilitated by a former (and now renewed) colleague of mine from my earlier days with imason, inc.  I quite enjoy working as a consultant, and this role promises no end of varied and challenging projects - my Professional Development Manager (PDM) put it thus:  "It'll be like drinking from a firehose."

What with so many others "Going Microsoft" like Scott Hanselman, etc., it seemed a good a time as any to join the firm that made the products that started my career in IT.  I'm looking forward to the days ahead!

What does this mean for my existing projects here?  Never fear - I'm still on 'em.  I may not be able to post as frequently, but I will be posting!

Congrats!
Have you chosen a nickname? 'Locutus' has already been taken Smile.
Kidding aside, I wish you the best of luck with M$.

Ha-ha.  No, I haven't chosen a nickname yet.  If I was it would be something Trek-like, yet ironic and satirical. Like "11 of 9". Tong
